Re: oil drain ok? (boosted92)
That setup is not ideal and the oil will not drain properly. If you keep running it like that you'll blow the seals on your turbo because the oil cant drain properly. Re-do the setup, turst me its worth the time and $ it will cost to fix it. It looks like if you got a 45 degree fitting coming off the flange, it would have a MUCH more desireable slope on it.

Re: oil drain ok? (HybridcivicLS-T)
that'll work just fine man.
don't listen to these idiots. they're saying you need to drill the oil drain inlet a little lower to let gravity do its thing. haha.
man, theres already pressure coming in from the oil feed line to the turbo. you really dont need gravity to help you that much on this one.
as long as it not going up, then ur all G.........
as oil runs through the turbo, the natural thing for it to do is keep going...... duh!
what? u expect it to just sit there and wait for gravity? and at the mean time, more oil is coming in from the oil feedline?
what next? these idiots are gonna rigg a pump to make the oil run faster? haha....

Seeing as this is you first post n00b, you better watch where you're stepping until you're an offical member.
And no we're not saying that you need to lower the inlet to the pan....we're saying that the hose needs to be in a more direct downhill route than it currently is. Again, post a few more times before you try and talk with what is commonly known as "intelligence".

*buzzzz* wrong, end of story thanks for playing. Now go learn about oil returns on turbo before signing up for the game again.

PRRRAIIIIISEEE the lord, by Joe I think he's got it. One question though: did you look at the picture before making such stupid post?

I stand corrected. Try this, take off your return line then point it at your face and see if you get hit with like 25psi of oil. Hmmmm I wonder why the feed line is -3AN and the returns are supposedly to be big...as in like a -10AN. Hmmm gee I don't know. That's a toughy, perhaps it could be because of *dun dun dunnnn* pressure differences?????

Well since you asked for one:
http://www.theoldone.com/compo...s.htm <--Again, thanks for playing. You are wrong and you're failing miserably at trying to sound intelligent. Again I'd watch what you say a little closer...at least until your trial period is up.
Good lord, I'm an '05 member so I'm fairly new as well...but damn dude that's just unbelieveable.
Going back to the original question: No that is bad news for the turbo. From the picture the line is going back up hill at a pretty good angle. Try using 45* fittings and a small run of SS line. That may do the trick and give you a much better direct route. It's not expensive for the fittings/line, and it's alot cheaper than a rebuild.

Re: oil drain ok? (g1zcteg)
mine use to look just like that
you need a 60 degree fiting coming off the turbo and it will be perfect. a 45 degree fitting will not be enough you need a 60 of the turbo

Re: oil drain ok? (riceball777)
you really need to redo that line even with pressure going in it still needs downward slope to drain right . just look at all the oem turbo cars do any of those cars have low spots in the drain line NO ! it may work for now but you could have issues down the road . seals in the turbo could leak . then they will call you smokeyyyyy.

Re: oil drain ok? (B18B-SC)
This kid (vice versa) joined yesterday and he's telling everyone in the FI forum that they're wrong. what a douche
Let's see... believe the entire FI forum or the super noobs opinion? Tough one.
redo the damn drain lineTry a 45 or 60 degree fitting off the flange

for some reason this guys reminds me of verbol assassin, u know the guy who had a list of all his banned user ids, the turbo kit in his sig gave it away
hes still in my sig from a long *** time ago

Sure it may be super dodgey; But it *will* drain....
As long as the turbo outlet is higher than the inlet on the oil pan, oil will flow, it's just the way liquids work. Have none of you ever syphoned fuel out of a tank, or water out of a water-bed.
Having said all that, I still say fix it. It looks kinked, and rubber hose eats ***** anyway.

Yes, but there is no suction here.
